Woman weeps to save marriage

A 58- year-old trader, Mrs Morenikeji Awotedun has pleaded with an Alagbado Customary Court, Lagos to save her 44-year-old marriage.

Mrs Awotedun wept while responding to her husband’s allegations that she turned their children against him and being diabolical.

She said she and her husband lived happily as a family before another woman came in between them.

“There was a day I caught another woman with him which made us at loggerheads for a while. Our families have intervened. My first son and I reached all his friends for reconciliation but to no avail. “I am not fetish. I did not do anything to him. In fact I still love him,” she said in tears.

A 65-year-old retired pilot, Tajudeen Awotedun, has gone to the court to dissolve their union.

“Since I left the house, none of our children asked about my wellbeing let alone where I live. There was no father-children relationship between us and they all have their own families,” he said.

Mr Awotedun said since it was revealed to him spiritually that his wife wants to kill him, he stopped eating her food or related with her.

“Things were not the same anymore. I don’t wish to be with her anymore.”
